Tucked away in the dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this premier top floor unit villa offers the best of both worlds: a quiet seaside retreat, yet convenient to all the amenities of West Beach. Within easy walking distance are shops, restaurants and golf. Shipwatch villas blend harmoniously with Kiawah's natural beauty and offer spectacular views of the vast oceanfront.

The "Vista" Views...

From the living room, bedroom and deck you have a spectacular sweeping view of the beach and the ocean. Stand out on the deck and wonderful sea breezes welcome you! This is the place to sit and watch pelicans and seagulls as they fly toward you then swoop up in the air currents.

Nothing beats sitting out on the private deck while the sun goes down. Watch as beach go'ers pack up for the day and the moon and stars come out for the evening.

The "Vista" Living Room is the essence of comfort with its lighted display cabinets, designer furniture and artwork, TV/DVD with fully stocked DVD library and high-speed internet access. But the star attractions are the two swivel rockers placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. From here you can see down the beach all the way to the east end of Kiawah. With the lush dunes, the wide sand beach, the shimmering Atlantic Ocean and the soft blue sky filling your view, it's a vista so calming, you'll be in a relaxed "vacation mode" from the moment you sit down.

The "Vista" Kitchen complete with everything from dishwasher, fridge, microwave, stove right down to the coffee maker, coffee bean grinder and blender.

The "Vista" Master Bedroom...

can only be described as absolutely sumptuous! With its rich warm colors, antique reproduction Tuscan bed and cloud-like bedding, leaving the bed each morning may be one of the most difficult things you'll have to do all vacation. Go ahead and linger; pull back the heavy drapes and watch the sunrise over the shore. From the comfort of your bed you can see the same incredible views as from the Living Room. Step out onto your private balcony and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the beach come to life for yet another spectacular day.

The king-size bed is topped with egyptian cotton linens, feather pillows and a feather-filled duvet. The bedroom also features a TV/DVD/VCR, original artwork, a cordless phone and a private bathroom with a granite double vanity.

Above: The Shipwatch Building in West Beach. Compared to Windswept buildings in East Beach, Shipwatch is much smaller, more private and offers easier beach access. Also, unlike the Windswept buildings, no stairs are required to access the villa from the parking lot.

Below: Boardwalk to beach - very easy beach access. Just take the elevator down to the first floor and the elevator opens up to the boardwalk.
